Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. A device comprising: a display configured to display content; a user interface configured to receive a first input that selects a part of the displayed content, and a second input that requests to decrease a size of the selected part of the displayed content; and a processor configured to control the display to decrease a size of the selected part of the displayed content by a first magnification, and decrease a size of an unselected part of the displayed content by a second magnification that is greater than the first magnification, in response to the user interface receiving the second input that requests to decrease the size of the selected part.
A device displays content and allows users to select a portion of that content. The user can then request to decrease the size of the selected part. In response to this request, the device decreases the size of the selected part by a certain amount (first magnification) and decreases the size of the unselected part by a greater amount (second magnification). This effectively shrinks the unselected portion of the display more than the selected portion.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is further configured to receive a third input that requests to increase the size of the selected part of the displayed content, and the processor is further configured to control the display to increase the size of the selected part of the displayed content by a third magnification, and decrease the size of the unselected part of the displayed content by a fourth magnification that is determined based on the third magnification, in response to the user interface receiving the third input.
Building on the previous device description, the user can also request to increase the size of the selected content. When this happens, the device increases the size of the selected content by a certain amount (third magnification) and decreases the size of the unselected content by an amount determined by the increase to the selected content (fourth magnification). Thus, the unselected content shrinks as the selected content grows.
3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the third input comprises an open pinch, and the processor is further configured to determine the third magnification based on a distance moved by two fingers in the open pinch.
Building on the previous device description where the user can increase the size of selected content, the increase can be triggered by a pinch-to-zoom gesture (open pinch). The device calculates the amount of zoom (third magnification) based on the distance the user moves their fingers during the pinch gesture.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first input comprises an underline of the part of the displayed content using an input tool, and the processor is further configured to determine the first magnification based on at least one among a thickness, a color, and a style of the underline.
Building on the first device description, instead of a simple selection of the content, the user selects a part of the displayed content by underlining it with an input tool. The device then determines the initial zoom level (first magnification) based on characteristics of the underline, such as its thickness, color, or style.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is further configured to receive a third input that requests to cease display of the unselected part of the displayed content, and the processor is further configured to control the display to cease display of the unselected part of the displayed content, and display a first icon in place of the unselected part of the displayed content, in response to the user interface receiving the third input.
Building on the first device description, the device provides a feature to hide the unselected content completely. The user provides input to hide the unselected content. In response, the device removes the unselected content from the display and shows a small icon in its place, representing that the unselected content is hidden.
6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the user interface is further configured to receive a fourth input that selects the first icon, and the processor is further configured to control the display to display the unselected part of the displayed content, and change the first icon to a second icon, in response to the user interface receiving the fourth input.
Building on the previous description, the device displays an icon in place of the hidden content. The user can then select this icon. When the icon is selected, the device redisplays the hidden (unselected) content and changes the icon to a second, different icon to reflect the content is currently visible.
7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the user interface is further configured to receive a fifth input that selects the second icon, and the processor is further configured to control the display to cease display of the unselected part of the displayed content, and change the second icon to the first icon, in response to the user interface receiving the fifth input.
Building on the previous description, the second icon represents displayed unselected content. The user can select the second icon, which triggers the device to hide the unselected part of content again and revert the icon back to the first icon, representing the hidden unselected content.
8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to: increase the size of the selected part of the displayed content by a third magnification, in response to the user interface receiving the third input; and decrease the size of the selected part of the displayed content to an original size, in response to the user interface receiving the fourth input.
This device allows for advanced manipulation of displayed content, building on a feature where a selected part of the content can be scaled differently from its unselected surroundings. The device includes a display and a user interface. When a user provides an input to select a specific part of the content, and subsequently provides a "third input" requesting to hide the unselected content, the device will cease displaying the unselected content, replacing it with a first icon. Simultaneously, the device will increase the size of the previously selected content by a determined magnification. Furthermore, if the user then provides a "fourth input" by selecting this first icon, the device will redisplay the previously hidden unselected content and change the first icon to a second icon. Concurrently, the device will decrease the size of the selected content, restoring it to its original dimensions.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the content comprises at least one among handwritten text, typed text, and image content.
Building on the first device description, the content being displayed and manipulated (selected, zoomed, hidden) can be various types of data. This includes handwritten text, typed text, and image content, or combinations thereof.
10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the content being a single image and the user interface receiving the first input, control the display to increase the size of the selected part of the displayed single image by a third magnification, and decrease the size of the unselected part of the displayed single image by a fourth magnification that is determined based on the third magnification.
Building on the first device description, in the case where the content is a single image, the device will increase the size of the selected part of the single image by a certain amount (third magnification), and decrease the size of the unselected part of the displayed single image by an amount determined by the increase to the selected content (fourth magnification).
11. A method of providing content of a device, the method comprising; displaying content; receiving a first input that selects a part of the displayed content, and a second input that requests to decrease a size of the selected part of the displayed content; and decreasing a size of the selected part of the displayed content by a first magnification, and decreasing a size of an unselected part of the displayed content by a second magnification that is greater than the first magnification, in response to the receiving the second input that requests to decrease the size of the selected part.
